These are bone-holders containing bones of prominent clan members of the past in a "custom house" at Natagera Village. No women are allowed inside even today when villagers are buried in a Christian cemetery and the old traditions are dying. A cyclone in 1971 badly damaged these houses and ruined many of the ancient artifacts, and the houses now are poorly maintained.  |
